Descriptive Problem Summary: When you place two or more check box buttons on an interface under the same group, and neither are selected by default, BYOND will still select one regardless at runtime.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Making any interface file and place two or more check box buttons under the same group and have neither selected by default.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem: http://www.sendspace.com/file/2temp9


Expected Results:
Having no selected check boxes under that group.

Actual Results:
On box is checked.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Everytime
In other games? Yes
In other user accounts? Haven't tried, shouldn't matter.
On other computers? Yes.

When does the problem NOT occur? N/A

Workarounds:
You can place another check box in the same group under another part of the interface so the user can't see it, (Behind an output label etc) and have it selected by default, and the visible check boxes will not be checked.

The "group" parameter for checkboxes is intended for radio buttons only. With radio buttons, one of the options must always be selected. Therefore this is intended behavior.
